Overview

Learn how lost souls from devastating catastrophes share the streets with spirits whose victims were the casualties of war and innocence lost. Join Galveston Ghosts and reveal a tragic history filled with unspeakable acts and learn how the trauma of the triad of war, oppression, and disasters spawned the most infamous ghosts and harrowing hauntings of the Lone Star State - the perfect location for sunshine, suffering, and ghost sightings.

It comes as no surprise that this Gulf Coast Texas town began with a bang–a shocking shipwreck and a booming canon. Centuries later it would officially be settled, leading to the construction of Hendley Market, where you’ll discover a building filled with the memories and trauma from the bloodshed and deaths the Battle of Galveston left in its wake. A single cannon shot from the roof may be where it all began for this seaside town, but the haunted and iconic building is where it continues.
